Instrument Approaches
Palo Alto airport has two approaches, both to runway 31 with 460' MDA/ 1-mi visibility minimums:
- GPS Runway 31
- VOR/DME Runway 31 from San Jose VOR
The VOR approach is almost impossible to get from Air Traffic Control if you are GPS-equipped, because of the conflict with airline traffic in San Jose International Airport.

Famous quotes containing the words instrument and/or approaches:
“Reason is man’s faculty for grasping the world by thought, in contradiction to intelligence, which is man’s ability to manipulate the world with the help of thought. Reason is man’s instrument for arriving at the truth, intelligence is man’s instrument for manipulating the world more successfully; the former is essentially human, the latter belongs to the animal part of man.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“I should say that the most prominent scientific men of our country, and perhaps of this age, are either serving the arts and not pure science, or are performing faithful but quite subordinate labors in particular departments. They make no steady and systematic approaches to the central fact.... There is wanting constant and accurate observation with enough of theory to direct and discipline it. But, above all, there is wanting genius.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
